Seeking enrollment is an uphill battle. It’s frustrating when you think people commit and then they back out. Often times we try to force the enrollment or force someone to stay even after we both know it’s not for them. (Maybe because we think we failed if they drop out?)
Far more effective to focus on alignment. When you’re aligned on the mission of an advisory board or the goals of an agency or the dreams of a friend, there’s no space for fear of failure. It’s far less likely for anyone drop out, too.
When you’re aligned, you’re not leading, you’re mentoring one another.
When you’re aligned, you’re not micromanaging, you’re working together.
Stay Positive & Seek Alignment
